As an early childhood professional with a disability, a parent of a child with a disability, and a daughter of a parent with a disability, Jani Kozlowski has spent a lot of time thinking and wondering about relationships between parents and educators. These are powerful partnerships!
How can we learn together using these unique perspectives? What are the most important components in the family-educator relationship? What makes for a successful partnership? Those questions and more will be explored in an edWebinar meant for educators, school leaders, and all early childhood “inclusionists.” Jani will share stories, discuss the evidence, and explore strategies proven to foster successful collaborative partnerships. There will be time for questions at the end of the presentation.
